Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

[Intro]
G Em C - this three times in arpeggios
THEN
G Em G D Em D C - strummed. listen for the changes!
[Verse One:]
G
I am the pain that bleeds through your temples
Every morning when you wake up
Em
I am the boy with alcohol poisoning
G
From all the parties Chris would throw
That summer that they took us in
Like every other American
Em
For getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club
G D
Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up
Em D
Then some kids played hacky sack
C
While the others just got high
[Interlude:]
G Em G D Em D C
[Verse 2]
G
It's not hard to fall for a waitress
When you both smoke
Smoke the same cigarettes
Em
You'll get seated as diners or lovers
G
You'll get the check as friends for the better
D Em
You'll carve your names into the Paupack Cliffs
D C
Just read them when you get old enough to know
That happiness is just a moment
[Chorus] x2:
G C G
So I'm marching up to your gates today
Em C
To throw my lonely soul away
G
'Cause I don't need it
C G Em C
You can take it back
[Bridge]
Am C G
And they will make examples out of us
D Em
Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot
C
But I fed the liars, I fed the liars, I fed the liars
G
Everything I got
Em
Everything I got
C
in my cabinet brain
G
Of canned thoughts
G
Everything I've got
Em
It was everything I've got
C
In my cabinet brain, in my cabinet brain
[Chorus] x2:
G C G
So I'm marching up to your gates today
Em C
To throw my lonely soul away
G
'Cause I don't need it
C G Em C
You can take it back
[Outro]
G C G
So I'm marching up to your gates today
Em C G C G
To throw my lonely soul away
Em
Yeah I don't need it
C G
You can take it back
